Buckets & Bouquets

BOUQUETS to the guys at East Geelong Men’s Shed. I was frantic to repair and invalid table and they had it done in a flash with a friendly smile.
Irene, East Geelong

BUCKETS to City of Greater Geelong for closing North Geelong’s recycling and waste disposal yard at 4.15pm Monday to Friday. Tradies in the real world of work knock off to dump refuse at the yard in time only to find locked gates. What a circus.
Ridiculous, Herne Hill

BUCKETS to Ripped Off (Buckets & Bouquets, September 20) for failing to supply a photo of the offending hairstyle. You ruined my day.
The Great Leslie, Winchelsea

BUCKETS to a hairdresser where it waited 20 minutes for my appointment before my hair was cut within an inch of its life, sprayed with several products, blow-waved, brushed then straightened for $60. I can relate to Ripped Off.
Also Ripped Off, Whittington

BOUQUETS to all the staff at St John of God Hospital for their insight and caring for me, particularly in comparison to other people I’ve known over the years. Keep up the wonderful work.
Felicity, Grovedale

BOUQUETS to Highton Village businesses and customers for their support for our annual spring ball.
Gwen Bromley, Geelong Royal Children’s Hospital Auxiliary

BOUQUETS to Bender’s bus driver Margaret, an excellent driver and a lovely lady who is an asset to the company.
Carole, Grovedale
